I was banished from bed with my lover by a brave man, but my 'XP Savings' skill broke and I went to level 300, so I thought I'd take a relaxing, heartbreaking trip.

Ton, ton. Jump from scaffold to scaffold.

The ruins protruding from the surface of the water are used as scaffolds to make the island a tunnel.

It was Frau who went ahead.

There was a maple on the back.

After a few more jumps, we take a break on the halfway ground scaffold.

A little further to the island.

"It looks like more people are gathering than I thought." I can see the smoke from the bonfire over here. "

Looking back, more than twenty smokes were rising.

It seems that more people are gathering here than expected.

I wonder if they're all here for Sein. And where is the key Sein?

"This way, please."

"Sancu"

Receive a bottle of water from the maple to soothe your throat.

It's on the lake, but it's unexpectedly hot because of the sun that shines and the reflections from underfoot.

From time to time, the mirror-like surface of the water is wavy with a warm breeze. It is a truly calm and tranquil view.

I wonder if my mother was looking at this view as well. It is emotional to think so.

Now, we're almost to the island.

Let's do our best and jump.

Repeat the jump on the ruins.

Damn it. My feet collapsed as I got on.

Reflexively jumps to the next. It seemed to have decayed enough to collapse with a small impact. He looked down at the ruins where the maple that had been stuck sank.

Can you come?

“Yes, no problem”

She spreads her nine tails and creates the wind with magic.

When I thought it was floating, I landed quietly.

Awesome. You can fly for a short time.

What was even more surprising was that the skirts barely swayed during the flight. It seemed to be held by a fine control.

Not yet?

Frau was waiting for him at a ruin one step ahead.

◇

Come on, this is the center of the lake.

When I landed on the island, I looked up, avoiding the sunshine with my hands covered.

A small island covered in dark green trees.

I think I can go around for 30 minutes.

There is also a place on the island that looks like a docking station, where a small boat is surrounded by a rope and swaying. There is a road laid from the water's edge to the back, and just one street lamp placed at an apology swaying in the wind.

Did she really live here? This place is so lonely.

Quiet and scenic. It's not as popular as it sounds, but it's not as frightening.

"Master..."

Let's go.

Of course. It's impossible to come here and turn back.

Frau hugs Maple's tail and fills her face.

We move along the cobblestones that are being buried in weeds.

"Any sign of anything?"

For now...

Maples were using their appraisal skills to find enemies, but I didn't see any monsters.

On the island, there were birds of prey or small beasts. There are no traces of creatures stepping on the surrounding grass. It's an atmosphere that hasn't been seen in years, not even on the road we're walking. I don't feel controlled.

The deeper you go, the more grass grows, and the more you walk, the harder it is to see the path.

Is this really my mother's home?

I was imagining a warm place that would be a little more fun and happy. Now, it's like Mom was all alone.

What the hell is this? Is anyone there? Is anyone there?

Master!?

What's the matter, Lord!??

I was obsessed with scratching the grass and rushing ahead.

The situation on this island made me feel uncomfortable.

"Hah, hah..."

I went out to a wide place.

Grass grows about waist high, spreading like a light green carpet. At its center was a pure white building like a temple of holy armor.

As a guide, the legs naturally head toward the building.

It's kind of a lonely place, isn't it?

"I knew you didn't see anyone at all." I wonder if the master's mother lived alone. Or was there someone at the time? "

I shake my head to the side.

I don't know anything. I don't even know if this is really my mother's home.

However, Roswell gave me the memory of the "local procedures". This may not be the ancient capital yet. I want to believe that.

He stepped on the grass and approached the building.

He went up the pure white stairs and stopped in front of the closed door. I touched the door gently.

"Ugh!?"

Pictures and words rush like tsunamis in my head.

Most of them I don't understand, but I could only swallow the way ahead.

I see. You haven't arrived at your destination yet.

Master, are you okay?

No problem, hey, it looks like there's still some way to go.

Huh?

Push the door open and get inside.

Perhaps it had been left for a long time, but at the same time as the light came in, a lot of dust danced.

Never mind. Go ahead and find it.

"Oh my God, the big balls are floating."

Is it an artifact?

A silver sphere that is more than 10 meters long.

The surface is a mirror with no fog, and it floats slightly in the air without moving. A tablet was placed in front of him.

I don't hesitate to touch the tablet.

It's a strange story, but I already knew how to get there.

Scanning initiated. Allows for status camouflage transmission, genetic information confirmation, SS assessment, and ultra long range transport device manipulation. Welcome to the Third Town Gate. "

The voice of a hard woman resounds from somewhere.

Maple and Frau greeted the invisible opponent.

"Um, nice to meet you. My name is Maple."

"Frau! Where are you?!"

The two of them smiled bitterly in a panic.

Somehow, I don't think that was a flesh voice.

It was already known that there were no people here. In other words, isn't it something that records a voice like Chupimi's beauty?

We will deploy the gate. Please lower to the white line as it is dangerous. "

The silver sphere changed its shape. It's like liquid mercury. It changed its shape even more and became a majestic door.

Connection complete. We'll be open soon

The door opens on its own.

Beyond that was a wall of thin blue and red swirling.

Maple and Frau strangely peered behind the door.

"Is it like a mirror in the inside?"

I don't know, but there's the Lord's mother's hometown ahead.

“I think so. Maybe there are a lot of ancient species.”

Finally, I know my roots. Where did your mother come from and why did you marry your father? And why did you let me come here?

- The truth lies ahead.

Let's go, Master.

"There's Flau and the others."

Yeah.

We go through the door.

◇

- Dark.

At the door, it was pitch dark.

Bobbie, bobbie.

The lamp lights up to guide you in the dark.

It's a long way up.

No, this is a bridge. It's an ancient bridge floating in the dark.

It's dark. I don't know what's down there.

"I can't see it in the appraisal."

Frau and Maple peek underneath, but can't see what's going on.

Besides, this bridge and pier are completely floating.

Without being sure, we move on.

I wonder what's going on here.

"I don't know. Maybe she knew something."

How long have I walked?

A few minutes, a few hours, a sense of time becomes obscured, an illusion that you are walking the same path over and over again. The bridge is very long and endless.

Spiffy spiffy.

Tired of it, Frau was sleepy, wrapped in the tail of a maple.

Fairy is good, isn't it?

If you're asleep, you'll get to your destination.

Ah, I see something!

It's not a rest stop, is it?

The end of the bridge was like a round square.

At its center was also that silver door. And it was already open.

If we want to arrive in the ancient capital quickly, we will not hesitate to go through the door.

"A lot!?"

Frau's cry echoed loudly.

It came out of a huge, round, domed room.

It is stepped from the center toward the wall, and it is shaped like a pot. Each step had countless silver doors, all of which were tightly closed.

The only thing that was open was the central door.

Go down the passage stairs and stand in front of the door.

"You have to remember the way home." It doesn't necessarily mean that other doors won't open. ”

Yeah, but don't you care where it leads.

Driven by curiosity, he tried to reach another door, but grabbed the back collar by Flau and pulled it back.

"It's the future now, isn't it?"

"Fufu, but I don't know if this door leads to the ancient city."

You'll be fine around here.



You two lean over my words. [M]

I figured it out, but I didn't think the other doors would open until I got to the ancient city.

This feeling you can feel all the time.

I am guided by something.

Is it again!?

But this time, it's just around the corner.

Once again, it was darkness that came through the door.

However, when I opened my eyes, it was not the dark space of the example.

It looks like it's in a building somewhere. There is a large dome-shaped room, and there are a number of things like luggage hung with cloth in the corner of the room.

"Get the lights."

Maples magically created the lighting.

The interior of the floating room is still like a warehouse.

The floor was covered with dust, and as I walked, my footprints were followed.

"There's a staircase over there."

I turned to Flau's voice.

There was a staircase and a door in front of the door.

Go up the stairs to the front door.

I touch the closed door.

Zaza...... I have permission...... to go to downtown............

I heard that woman's voice again, but I couldn't clearly hear the unpleasant noise.

One of them opened the door and a dazzling light came in through the gap.
